Ep. 110: The Allure of Arsenic with Vascular Surgeon Dr. Ted McGillicuddy, Pt. 1

Light up your candy cigarettes and pack a lip of Big League Chew, because we’re welcoming vascular surgeon and Kristin’s former boss, Dr. Ted McGillicuddy, into the podloft to discuss the lesser-known harms of smoking.    Dr. Ted shares who he is and how he got into medicine before tossing on the ol’ lab coat and teaching us about the vascular system. He’s giving a crash course in Vascular Disease 101 and expanding on Kristin’s smoking and addiction series with his own words of wisdom. He’s also answering listener questions such as, “what can people do to take care of their vascular systems?” and, “have you ever tried whippits?”   Plus, we bicker over teeth-brushing styles, agree about the importance of giving children hygiene lessons (it’s hard to unbecome the smelly kid), discuss the sacredness of the mental health walk, and more.  Resources Visit our website: weirdsofafeather.com  Follow us on Youtube: youtube.com/@weirdsofafeather Join our Reddit community: reddit.com/r/WeirdsofaFeather/ Find us on Instagram: @weirdsofafeather  Become a Patreon member: patreon.com/weirdsofafeather  Bird Call - Pheasant-Tailed Jacana   To keep this horse train running (but this isn’t a threat): ko-fi.com/weirdsofafeather
